I just wanted to post a quick update on commissions from the convention. So far I have two badges completed, one large full illustration about 90% done, and one sketch finished, and two others in progress. I've slowed down in progress a bit because of work, and also ran out of sparkle film which I need in order to completely finish off the completed badges before I can ship them.

However, I just placed an order for more film and should be able to power on with the rest one I receive it. Hooray!

I should have another update in a couple weeks, as I'll be out of town for the next week.

As in previous years, I'll add updates as I go and move things between categories as I finish and ship them out. :D If anyone has any questions about one of their commissions, however, you can always email me at admin@paintedlamb.com

I'm so excited to get started on these because I got so many queue orders this year (SO MANY SPARKLES <3 <3 <3 ), and I know each and every one of them will be a ball to work on X3

As for future convention news, I'm tentatively planning on going to Fangcon, finances permitting. But, I'll give more updated on that later as I work on planning for it.

Just wanted a post a quick update to let you know that I should be publishing the queue from FWA here early this weekend. :) I had to return to work right after the convention, so I haven't had time to sit down and create a Trello board and stuff for everything yet. But, rest assured: it's coming and I should begin work on badges I took home this weekend (hooray!)

It's been a while since I was last able to publish an update here. Mostly, this has been due to a few different things like:

Purchasing and moving into a new house

Handling new projects and management-related tasks at work

New puppers (she is big and fluffy and a HANDFUL)

The new house has been an absolute blessing, and I'm so glad I took this dive into homeownership. The apartment we just left was an extremely cramped 2 bed/2 bath. Near the end of our tenancy, I barely wanted to look at my desk because the room served as my office, my boyfriend's office, a kennel room for the pup, and extra storage. Doing artwork in the living room was no better because the lighting was atrocious. This made it nearly impossible to finish traditional work past sundown.

Now, I have a full room to myself to use as my office space. This means I can set up separate stations for digital art and traditional art, allowing me to keep my computer space at least somewhat free of clutter. I also have more space to keep my art books and manuals there instead of essentially storing everything in the living room. But, above all: the LIGHTING. It's SO much brighter!
